Love Boaters Should be Benched..(Reaction to the Vikings recent boating incident)

Any Viking involved in what supposedly happened on that boat, and any Viking who wasn't involved but didn't try to stop what was happening, should be booted from the active roster.

Still pay them, if that's what is needed to satisfy union requirements. But under no circumstances allow them on the field to represent the Minnesota Vikings.

Funny...but believe it.

Al and Alma's are popular dinner cruise/sightseeing boats on Lake Minnetonka. They are usually opened to the public but can be rented for private functions. Staffing is 75-80% high school and college students. From what I've read this was a private charter not a public cruise. The lake is usually very crowded in the evenings with boaters enjoying the sunset.AWB

Randy loved his bad boy image. Was he the smartest kid on the block? Probably not, but he also wasn't the worst behavior on the team. He just got noticed most because he was actually a good player.

Stupid but good.

You tell them, terilyn. People who don't "get it" are either hopelessly stupid, or just hopelessly sick.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah but now he is in Oakland, has easily the highest selling jersey in YEARS and maybe ever, and he is able to be the focal point of an offense that tends to put up points in bunches.

But...it wasn't my daughter, she wouldn't be involved in this scenario---willing participants were.

[conservativebabe]

definitely! funny

[Abigail Adams]

No, the young teenaged female employees on the boat were NOT willing participants. If I was one of them, I would be traumatized. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing people perform sex acts in public.

[Americanwolf]

Just because you are an employee of a company does not make you a willing participant in this kind of activity.

[terilyn]

A horrible situation that they couldn't walk away from.

Fortunately the players and their toys were too busy to notice the boats were headed back to the dock.

At that point their handlers/babysitters/chauffers hauled them off the boats and told them to get in the cars...the party's over dude.

Yes, That's exactly what it is - a public sightseeing boat. They're about 60 ft long, and typically serve dinner on while giving a sightseeing tour of Lake Minnetonka.
cruise and are often hired by corporations for company outings, as well as open to he general public.

[conservativebabe]

They didn't just have sex from what I understand. They did it like an orgy all out in the open, masturbation, etc., in front of crew. Then they go an take a p!ss in some ladies yard. It's disgusting! However, I am laughing under my breath a little.

THEY WERE EMPLOYEES. THEY COULD NOT PREDICT THIS BEHAVIOR.

[terilyn]

Thanks sweetie!

You can wear that princess crown any day as far as I'm concerned :o)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Nonsense. We share. : )

[nothingnew]

I want to know what Debbie thinks about this whole thing...Debbie from Dallas....uh....oh, you know....

A friend of mine is from Minnesota and said today that this type of behavior is not surprising. Many times when players are seen in public they are arrogant, obnoxious, belligerent jerks.

[thathamiltonwoman]

So a bunch of guys went on a boat and saw some strippers. It's disgusting but American men do exactly the same every day of the week. What's the big deal?

[Americanwolf]

See post 34 and foward... this was on a public lake and a public boat
